Tozer pauses before his survey of the attributes to explain what an attribute actually is — and why studying them is an act of reverence, not presumption.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Tozer defines a divine attribute as "something true about God" — something He has revealed about Himself, not something we have invented. Why is this distinction between revealed attributes and human projections so important?
2.He insists that the divine attributes are not parts of God but are identical with God's one undivided being. What does it mean that God does not merely possess love or holiness but that He *is* love and *is* holy? How does that differ from the way attributes work in creatures like us?
3.Tozer warns that isolating one attribute and ignoring others creates a distorted picture of God. Can you identify a common distortion — a church culture or personal habit of mind — that overemphasizes one attribute (say, love) at the expense of another (say, holiness)?
